Harry Potter and the HBP trailer is out!

July 30, 2008 – 8:31 am
Here it is.  Go look. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - Official trailer on AOL/Moviefone I watched it this morning.  Yet another movie that needs to open now. If you have not read the books, shame on you.  If you have not seen any of the previous movies, shame on you, and nothing in this trailer will have any meaning to you other than, "Wow, looks interesting." Due out near Thanksgiving this year, it's the second-to-last installment of the Potter saga; technically third-to-last as the final movie is being split into two parts.  This book was the biggest seller at the time and probably considered "groundbreaking" as a major character was killed off by the end.  I'm not going to spoil it for any of you who only watch the movies and not read the books.... though I'm sure it's general and pop culture knowledge to know who get whacked. In other news, ...

My Mini City

July 27, 2008 – 11:09 pm
So minor new little piece of fun I discovered thanks to my friend Danny. My Mini City - O'Cork A little time killer for at work and can still have the "fun" of heckling your friends to click on it once a day.  No sign ups, you just pick the country of where you want your city to be, name your city, and get your URL.  Make your buddies click on it once a day and it adds 1 person to your city..... yeah not a lot, but hey, can't hurt. Might seem boring, but it's fun to watch your town grow.  Not like SimCity where you have to watch the city funds and crap..... it just grows for you. So yeah, click on it.  I'd do the same for you...... In fact, comment with your town, I'll help ya out, too!

“Fun” at the store.

Welcome to 2008, the 21st century! Stop writing checks at Lowe's for $17.  Learn to use a debit card or pay cash.  Many new hires at such places aren't even trained on how to ring up someone with a check so they need to stand there and page a manager to have it done. If you don't know how to use the self-checkout machine, don't use it when you are trying to buy produce and spend 5 minutes to determine if you are buying small, medium, or large bananas.  No one will laugh at you if you still go through the normal checkout, people will just threaten to kill you for wasting their time while in line behind you.  The same goes if you have over 10 items; don't you dare pull up to the self check-out with a cart full off food and struggle to scan a box of damn cereal.  ...

Alright, let’s get this rolling.

Alright, it's still bit.... not easy on the eyes, but this place will slowly shape up as soon as I figure this crap out. So let's talk about Joe the Bunny.  Here he is, currently sitting across from my desk at work today: How did this happen?  Well first we start with the beginnings of the story. Joe the Bunny was first purchased by my friend Linda's then boyfriend for Easter a few years ago.  Her reaction: "What the hell?"  After a fun filled evening of Cranium and fondling Joe the Bunny while at Linda and Joe's (her brother) house, it is decided between Joe and myself that I was going to take the random Pompozon chair he had off his hands for Nick's new apartment when he first moved to Kenosha.  Upon arriving to Joe's a few days later for the chair, he quickly pulls Joe the Bunny out of the garage, ...
